Canada Halifax Mission

Hey things are going
great!! I love it here! I've never felt the spirit so strong! So yesterday we
had a hard time focusing on studying and once we got to class instruction out
teacher brother Balzer asked us how our day was going and Elder Frampton (he’s in
my district) said that it’s been hard to focus and not think of home. So we did
a Book of Mormon read we wrote down questions be had and what we were feeling.
I wrote down that I was feeling like I wasn't good enough to be here serving.
we read 1 Nephi 1:1-5 it says nothing about how I was feeling, but it still
received my answer that I was good enough, just by those verses, it’s crazy how
the spirit can guide and direct you. Our whole district was crying for pretty
much the whole time, we spent 2 hours on these 5 verses. Brother Balzer said
something that really hit me near the end he said "there are angels in
this room" I immediately felt something warm grab my hand and tell me you
are enough, in my heart I heard Grandpa Garner speak to me, he was with me last
night. I then looked down at my ring and then could not stop crying. I realized
another reason why I am serving a mission, because and for Grandpa.

We learned the power
of prayer and the revelation we receive from it. We did some role playing and one
of us was a missionary and one of us what someone we knew who isn't a member
and we asked as them. WOW! In that role play the missionary invites the
investigator to pray for the first time. The spirit was incredible. Acting as
the investigator and praying for the first time you are in the zone you don't
break character. It’s as if you were praying for the first time. It was
amazing. Well I need to write my branch president. There is a letter in the
mail. I love you guys and my PD is on Saturdays in the MTC. Please make a FB
page that I won't get peoples emails until next Saturday. Thanks
